[Intro]
Thank God, I thank my mom
Thank God, I thank my mom
Thank God, but thank my mom
I thank God, I thank my mom

[Verse 1]
I used to wake up in the morning to a disconnected phone
Call the operator ask him can you turn it back on
Tryna push my bill back, like 'Ye wearin' a cap
But my bill was at it's cap so operator snapped (Can't help you)
Twenty-one with more debt than guy with five kids, three baby mamas and five cribs
But no gigs, the life that I lived
And being hopeless was never a option
Because I had a drive with a grind like a fucked up car
No car, school fees and a fucked up job
But I'll have my life on lock, like a register Glock
And when I do, I'm screaming fuck all y'all
Except for my homies, who stuck with me through all the bad times
Lord knows I couldn't make it if y'all n***as didn't drive
And strive, to make all the payments for the visuals
No matter how motherfuckin' difficult

[Chorus]
This one is for you
This one is for the people that knew
That I would some way make it to the top one of these days
Oh my lord, thank god
This one is for you
This one is for the people that knew
That I would some way make it to the top one of these days
Oh my lord, thank god, it's time to praise
[Verse 2]
Mama always tryin' to kick me out
But if I get locked up, she there to get me out
Which don't make any sense but I lack say so
'cause I ain't payed the rent
I'm like "Mama school isn't for me"
She like "Uh, next semester it better be"
I gave 'em crack like Nino, rolled the dice like Cee-Lo
And didn't blow my chance, Tim Tebow
I was tryna get it, so I spit it
Like a Honda Civic with a camshaft in the engine
When I revved they listened, thought it was a different car
They couldn't believe what they seen
When they heard that that noise came from me
In the midst of those Nissans and S3's
The Honda Civic's image was too hard for them to see
I was tryna get it, so I spit it
Like a Honda Civic with a camshaft in the engine
Just to make 'em listen, this is for you

[Chorus]
This one is for you
This one is for the people that knew
That I would some way make it to the top one of these days
Oh my lord, thank god
This one is for you
This one is for the people that knew
That I would some way make it to the top one of these days
Oh my lord, thank god, it's time to praise
[Post-Chorus]
*various voicemails*
"I wanna give a shoutout to Jay IDK, man love that music, so dope, keep doing what you're doing. TRiBE."
"Fuckin' Ignorantly Delivering Knowledge represent West Coast."
"Jay, keep your shit going, just do you and be real. Follow Jay IDK, to support the TRiBE."
Thank God, I thank my mom
Thank God, I thank my mom
Thank God, but thank my mom
I thank God, I thank my mom
Thank God, I thank my mom
Thank God, I thank my mom
Thank God, but thank my mom
I thank God, I thank my mom

[Chorus]
This one is for you
This one is for the people that knew
That I would some way make it to the top one of these days
Oh my lord, thank god
This one is for you
This one is for the people that knew
That I would some way make it to the top one of these days
Oh my lord, thank god, it's time to praise
